I slept very well until 3:15 or so, when I needed to get to the bathroom. I was back in bed a little past 3:30, but I could not get back to sleep. It did not help that Annabelle and Thatch decided they needed a good game of tag on and around my bed for what seemed an eternity.

I've been thinking about the TOD. Yesterday I ran across the name Ofemia, and I once tried to read Zuleika Dobson. Its humor eluded me, but I might like it now.

My mother's sisters were all mad in 1939 for Gone with the Wind. When my cousin was born in 1951, my Aunt Dorothy wanted to name her Suellen, after one of Scarlett O'Hara's sisters. The pissy Middletown Hospital dictated no such name existed and my cousin was named Sue Ellen.

This is a [cough,cough] milestone birthday.

I want you to know I searched and searched for a meme that had "singdaw" on it.  Closest I could come was "singaw", but those were accompanied by some cold sores on the mouths of the images.   Next best was "Happy Brithday, Singapore"...but...no.

Post by: Ron Pulliam on September 14, 2023, 05:31:37 AM
I slept extremely well last night.   I know I should leave it at that, but...I just cannot!

Dreams abounded.  Weird, odd and highly personal ones.

The least offensive:  I was driving around Baltimore (last time I was there was 1971, and I loved it very much).  My "thing" used to be driving to the nearest city and learning my way around on a Saturday morning/afternoon.  I would get fairly proficient at not getting lost for very long, and always enjoyed the adventures.   I did this in Washington DC, Jacksonville FL and Indianapolis...back when I was a young'un.

Baltimore, in my dream, had changed.  And no matter where I went, I couldn't find where I wanted to go.   At one point, I got directions that made sense, but I was on a bicycle and could not remember where I had parked.  That dream just ticked me off a little and did not recur.
Title: Re: I AM NOT HAILE SELASSIE
Post by: Ron Pulliam on September 14, 2023, 05:38:30 AM
The dream that almost had me shrieking went like this:

I was home for a visit with my folks.  I still had clothes at their place, and I found it necessary one morning to dress for school. (!)  (I was a grown man, so don't look too deeply into the circumstances.)   I tried on several things until I was very happy with a "look".  But time was against me, and I knew if I didn't hurry up I would miss my bus.  For whatever reason...a shower, I suppose...I had undressed and was rushing to find where I had put my clothes.   The shirt was over here, the trousers in another room.  Found socks and shoes.  And then I knew it was too late for the bus.

My mom was still there getting ready for work, but she had just enough time to get herself to her office on time, and I was really worred about asking her for a ride in a different direction.

So, I went into the kitchen where she was getting stuff together, and she looked at me rather oddly.  I told her I didn't feel very well, that my bus had gone and i had no way to get to school.

She made a funny face and said, "If that is true, then why are you sitting over there with your head on my lap?"

She turned her head toward a couch where she was sitting and I was leaning over with my head in her lap looking for all the world as if I had passed out.

I looked at her, horror on my face and hers.  "Am I dying?  Or dead"?

I woke up.  My heart was pounding!!!

Jack, I swear, if that Dream-O-Matic gets consulted, it had better be something POSITIVE.

There is only one more day until the opening of "A Haunting in Venice", the latest vainglorious Kenneth Branagh film in which he pretends to be Hercule Poirot but completely reinvented to appease Branagh's ego.

I hope it's a decent film.  The last two were deadly dull.  At least this time he used a lesser known Christie (Hallowe'en Party) and reset it in Venice during a festival of some sort.

Since the original story is very, very British, the film adapation will be very, very Branagh and unrelated at all to Christie.

Sorry...but of all people to get hooked on Christie, it should have been someone who respects the printed word.

DR RON PULLIAM the second dream as interpreted by the Dream-O-Matic 6000 tells us that since the loss of your mother you do have feelings of being disorganized and putting things in order is not a top priority for you.

You still seek her help and guidance and know that it is available to you through memories of talks particularly on the telephone.

She is also encouraging you to move it along and be independent in your thinking and actions - all in all a very nice living for today dream.

I was on Ozempic for a while to lower my A1C.  No weight loss came.

However, I was switched over to Trulicity.  Works better for A1C and I dropped 20 pound or so without even trying.

My doctor prescribed Ozempic to try to help me lose the weight, but I'm not taking that nasty stuff. I will try to do it on my own.
I was on Ozempic for a while to lower my A1C.  No weight loss came.

However, I was switched over to Trulicity.  Works better for A1C and I dropped 20 pound or so without even trying.

Strange how these things work so differently for people. Trulicity didn’t work for me, but Maunjaro caused me to lose 45 pounds and lower my A1-C.

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening - whatever you are celebrating.  I slept so well, that I didn't hear both the alarms (both on my phone) and I got up a good 20 minutes late.  I made it in on time, but I hate to feel rushed.

The baseball game yesterday was great.  The Giants won in extra innings, so that was fun.

The rest of the day yesterday was weird, and today feels weird as well.  Not sure what's up.

The dream that almost had me shrieking went like this:

I was home for a visit with my folks.  I still had clothes at their place, and I found it necessary one morning to dress for school. (!)  (I was a grown man, so don't look too deeply into the circumstances.)   I tried on several things until I was very happy with a "look".  But time was against me, and I knew if I didn't hurry up I would miss my bus.  For whatever reason...a shower, I suppose...I had undressed and was rushing to find where I had put my clothes.   The shirt was over here, the trousers in another room.  Found socks and shoes.  And then I knew it was too late for the bus.

My mom was still there getting ready for work, but she had just enough time to get herself to her office on time, and I was really worred about asking her for a ride in a different direction.

So, I went into the kitchen where she was getting stuff together, and she looked at me rather oddly.  I told her I didn't feel very well, that my bus had gone and i had no way to get to school.

She made a funny face and said, "If that is true, then why are you sitting over there with your head on my lap?"

She turned her head toward a couch where she was sitting and I was leaning over with my head in her lap looking for all the world as if I had passed out.

I looked at her, horror on my face and hers.  "Am I dying?  Or dead"?

I woke up.  My heart was pounding!!!

Jack, I swear, if that Dream-O-Matic gets consulted, it had better be something POSITIVE.

Oh my, that is a scary dream.

TOD - Erkenbrecher, which is a Cincinnati street named for Andrew Erkenbrecher, founder of the Cincinnati Zoo.  My favorite way to say his name was when ordering at the late, great Rookwood restaurant in Mt. Adams.  They had a menu of burgers named for famous Cincinnatians.  I ordered the

ERKENBRECHERBURGER

just because I liked saying it out loud.

Give it a try.

I used to follow some site - maybe it was an email list, now that I think about it - documenting the horrible misuse of quotation marks. I'm sure there are many other such sites for various punctuation.

Elmore snd Ginny, have you ever heard of Middletonisn named James Demetrion, who led the Hirshorn?

No, but my first Latin teacher was Kiki Demetrion; perhaps she's a relative?

Could be. The family also had a Greek restaurant in Middletown.

DR Ginny, I can not only say it, I have said it, my parents could say it, and I even had the Erkenbrecherburger at the wonderful Rookwood. Sadly, I was only there one time. My folks had picked me up at the airport one evening, we all needed to eat, and that's where they took me. They'd been there a number of times. Loved that place.

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening - whatever you are celebrating.  I slept so well, that I didn't hear both the alarms (both on my phone) and I got up a good 20 minutes late.  I made it in on time, but I hate to feel rushed.

The baseball game yesterday was great.  The Giants won in extra innings, so that was fun.

The rest of the day yesterday was weird, and today feels weird as well.  Not sure what's up.



Rushed but needed extra sleep after your excitement last night.

Not a baker's dozen. Just a regular run-of-the-mill dozen.
Title: Re: I AM NOT HAILE SELASSIE
Post by: singdaw on September 14, 2023, 07:39:00 PM
Why is thirteen called a baker's dozen?

The term baker's dozen is thought to originate from the old practice of bakers adding a thirteenth loaf of bread to a batch of twelve loaves to avoid selling underweight bread

And, just venting for a moment about a pet peeve: why does Apple Music make hinkey with album titles? It is crazy-making trying to search for something.

If you search for "Oklahome" or "Oklahoma!" the new album doesn't show up. It is listed under "Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma!"

Annoying and self-defeating.

A couple nights ago, we had a FIERCE storm -- the wind was frightening. If I had any trees left, I'm sure they would have blown over.  There were several uprooted trees in the neighborhood.

And in other happy news...Gay couple awarded $100K after they were denied marriage license by ex-clerk Kim Davis (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/gay-couple-awarded-100k-after-they-were-denied-marriage-license-by-ex-clerk-kim-davis/ar-AA1gGqg3?OCID=ansmsnnews11). :)

It looks like Kim Davis is the one who had to cough up the money, has opposed to the County. Does the County have no liability, I wonder.

I assume not since she denied them the license based on her "beliefs." ::)

The County is the entity that allowed an employee to discriminate against those who she had no right to discriminate against.

Should be the county.  And Kim Davis, the hypocrite.


That makes a lot of sense.
